I think i misunderstood > the usage of PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET and PYTHON_TARGET. See [1] for a full explanation. Summarised, PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET is used for packages built to run on a single implementation of the Python language, whereas PYTHON_TARGETS is used for specifying a number of implementation versions for which a package should be built. Your original problem with gobject-introspection appeared due to the fact that you were attempting to build the package for Python 3.6, as shown in your PasteBin submission: `PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_6 -python3_7 (-python3_8)"`, but setuptools was built with `PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_7 (-pypy3) -python3_6 (-python3_8)"`, ergo no support for 3.6 (the pkg_resources module is part of setuptools). The "invalid EAPI" message shown by emerge was rather misleading; the Python-provided "traceback" showed the real source of the error. Small addendum: I have never written any Python, and hope I never have to, but it seems like there has been some debate amongst the community to separate pkg_resources into its own package (included in the standard library), as setuptools is rather large. See [2] for the original proposal, which was ultimately rejected.
